TRAMPOLINE FITNESS AS A MEANS OF IMPROVING COORDINATION SKILLS IN ADOLESCENTS INVOLVED IN SNOWBOARDING
Abstract
Aim. The paper aims at identifying the conditions for improving the effectiveness of trampoline fitness and developing coordination skills in adolescents involved in snowboarding. Materials and methods. The sample consisted of adolescents aged 10–13 (n = 12) years and involved in snowboarding. Our work hypothesis is that the effectiveness of trampoline fitness can be improved by using prone and supine spinal exercises, as well as trampoline board and off-axis roation exercises. Coordination skills in acyclic movements were assessed through rotation jumps. The Yarotsky test was used to measure vestibular balance. The Wilcoxon t-test was used for statistical processing of the data obtained. Results. Traditional trampoline fitness contributed to a significant improvement of rotation jumps to the right and a decrease of motor asymmetry when jumping to the right and left. The authors’ program contributed to the improvement of vestibular balance and acyclic jump-related coordination skills (when jumping to the right and left). The dynamics of asymmetry was not confirmed statistically. Conclusion. The authors’ program of trampoline fitness has a more pronounced effect on coordination skills in adolescents involved in snowboarding, reduces motor asymmetry, allows to avoid some technical mistakes and reduces injury risk.
